AP/MIAMIHERALD/ President Sebastian Pinera's new "Operation Rest in Peace" is intended to combat low-level street crime. Getting delinquents off the streets and in jail for longer terms were key campaign promises for Pinera who became president in March. A massive destructive earthquake and aftershocks distracted him from this promise, but now with reconstruction underway, Pinera promises to hire 3,000 more police officers by year's end and 10,000 by the end of his four-year-term.
